Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian terrorist on Thursday in the Palestinian town of Hawara in Samaria after he attempted to stab them.

IDF soldiers were stationed in the town to prevent attacks against Israel motorists driving on its main route when the terrorist ran towards the unit with a drawn knife and tried to stab one of them. The soldiers responded rapidly and shot him dead.

No Israelis were injured in the incident.

Hawara is a regular flashpoint which has seen multiple and almost daily Palestinian attacks on Israeli vehicles.
